Thanks for that, i've been wanting to know exactly what it does. Are there any of us on here using water injection? |

emm... and when the jet gets blocked and you loose your engine! Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

nope just what i've heard, doesn't seem worth it for our engines, if you have a good IC. Edited by Miniwilliams on 10th Apr, 2011. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Only if you are using it for more boost or advance. In most suck through setups it helps put the intake into a safer temp zone. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I use it for more boost and advance. It's bollocks that water injection, if properly installed, is anymore susceptible to blockages than fuel injectors. Forged pistons as opposed to more brittle cast ones, water filters, failsafes in the ecu and knowing what pre ignition sounds like are all excellent solutions to failure resulting in damage. |

Some people dont apply any fuel/timing adjustments until intake temp is seen to drop which is a safe bet the system is working. Or you can get flow meters which can do the same thing. Although the intake temp method is flawed and does of course depend on intake temps in the first place. But the systems now are very reliable. 9.85 @ 145mph

If your CR is low enough, or fuel of high enough quality for boost used that your engine isnt knock limited, then chances are you wont see any benefits. But if you cannot run an optimal ignition advance before detonation occurs, then yes you can see benefits regardless of intake temps. If using fancy or race fuel, then chances are unless your intake temps are sky high, it probably isnt worth it. But for pump fuel cars, running a decent amount of boost it is worthwhile. 9.85 @ 145mph

It's not the bolt on tuning option it's sold as on occasion. It's to allow exploring boost/advance settings out of the ordinary. |

Knock limited at 19 psi on pump fuel, no issues at 30psi with water/meth.

I think it's a supercharger suck through must have... I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Out of interest are those of you using water injection using just water or a mix with methanol? |

100% water but then I haven't tried any mix. but then I have only just started down this road. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

WI sounds appealing to me as a drag racing additive but not as a day in day out road additive.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

imo WI is perfect for pushing well beyond the limit for a short amount of time ie drag racing

If you just use water then fueling requirements wont change as much, so if it failed, it could be a little safer depending on how much timing it allowed you to add. Interestingly the fuelling didn't have to change on my car post WI on 100% water. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Great when setup correctly but if you run out of water your finished!! other problems when jets fail/block, ive seen engines literally stop sized instantly. Confessed addiction to everything mini |
